Blockchain gets its name from being a series of blocks that are linked together to form a chain. Once the information has been added to the chain, it cannot be changed. There are several consensus protocols, and each of them is chosen based on the type of blockchain and the system requirements. With the rapid urbanization of the world, several economic, social, and environment-related issues have been raised. Smart cities are an emerging concept that holds the solution to these urban problems. Blockchain is such an innovation that can promote the development of smart cities. Along with its application in the internet of things, smart cities, and logistics, blockchain truly is state-of-the-art technology. Here, the authors aim to provide an in-depth look into this relatively new technology, beginning with blockchain's fundamentals and then covering the applications, issues, and future scope.

A revolutionary technology well into the world of technology has been in the modern world of technology the Internet of Things. Due to continuing increases as nothing more than a consequence of either the rapid development of computing Internet of things-based applications implementations. Many technologies become increasingly embraced throughout compatible devices such as home automation and also smart cities. These IoT applications become operated on both the Internet, whereby information becomes transported publicly between a network to the next, therefore flowing information requires a great deal of further privacy consideration to guarantee IoT applications become reliable Internet of things technologies have been using various techniques of data protection of security and privacy. However, all such modern security systems have always been sufficient to ensure the Internet of things perceived safety. A Blockchain has become a revolutionary authoritative digital technology that really transforms commercial transactions absolutely. This is also a collaborative service that facilitates it uses a variety of features of cybersecurity. Blockchain technology seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle throughout the IoT to address problems of usability, anonymity, including security. Block chain’s crypto algorithms must enable transparency from customers very confidential. Throughout this research article, we introduce an analysis of IoT security concerns; blockchain gets addressed briefly as well as later addresses the security of IoT applications dependent on blockchain technologies.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a system that integrates different devices and technologies, removing the necessity of human intervention. This enables the capacity of having smart (or smarter) cities around the world. By hosting different technologies and allowing interactions between them, the internet of things has spearheaded the development of smart city systems for sustainable living, increased comfort and productivity for citizens. The IoT for Smart Cities has many different domains and draws upon various underlying systems for its operation. In this paper, we provide a holistic coverage of the Internet of Things in Smart Cities. We start by discussing the fundamental components that make up the IoT based Smart City landscape followed by the technologies that enable these domains to exist in terms of architectures utilized, networking technologies used as well as the Artificial Algorithms deployed in IoT based Smart City systems. This is then followed up by a review of the most prevalent practices and applications in various Smart City domains. Lastly, the challenges that deployment of IoT systems for smart cities encounter along with mitigation measures.

Minerva Tantoco was named New York City’s first chief technology officer last year, charged with developing a coordinated citywide strategy on technology and innovation. We’re likely to see more of that as cities around the country, and around the world, consider how best to use innovation and technology to operate as “smart cities.”The work has major implications for energy use and sustainability, as cities take advantage of available, real-time data – from ‘smart’ phones, computers, traffic monitoring, and even weather patterns — to shift the way in which heating and cooling systems, landscaping, flow of people through cities, and other pieces of urban life are controlled. But harnessing Open Innovation and the Internet of Things can promote sustainability on a much broader and deeper scale. The question is, how do you use all the available data to create a more environmentally sound future? The term “Internet of Things” was coined in 1999 by Kevin Ashton, who at the time was a brand manager trying to find a better way to track inventory. His idea? Put a microchip on the packaging to let stores know what was on the shelves.

Population growth and urbanization have led to an increase in the rate of waste production, the lack of timely and proper management of which will have adverse effects on human life and the environment. Since most of the waste management costs are spent on waste collection and transportation, it is necessary to find solutions to control the huge costs of this sector. On the other hand, today, intelligent technologies are used globally as solutions to meet challenges in various fields such as agriculture to improve agro-industrial production, transportation, and waste management, which creates a concept called smart cities. One of the categories that has changed the concept of cities and made them have easier and smarter answers to various events and needs is the "Internet of Things", in which many cases and infrastructures with new hardware technologies and Software are integrated. Waste collection is no exception to this rule and efforts have been made to make it smarter. In this research, some of the latest innovations presented globally in order to make trash smarter have been examined.
